Recent events have got me thinking about how UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson resembles Charlie Drake.

Well, at least one of them’s a clown.

The last line of the first verse of this 1958 UK hit for Drake certainly links them.

“Well how was I to know there was a party going on?”

Charlie Drake: Splish Splash

(I know there was an earlier version by Bobby Darin but I don’t think it made the British charts.)
